0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

bussgeldkatalog.org is a German informational website specializing in traffic fines, penalties, and legal advice related to road traffic regulations. It provides updated content for 2025, including a fine calculator tool and detailed explanations of traffic violations. The site targets drivers and road users in Germany seeking authoritative and practical information on traffic law. The business model appears to be content-driven with affiliate partnerships and advertising revenue. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, leveraging popular SEO and performance plugins such as Yoast SEO and WP Rocket, and uses jQuery for frontend interactions. The site is mobile-optimized and implements cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which are recommended for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, though the site content and structured data suggest legitimacy. Overall, bussgeldkatalog.org is a well-maintained niche informational portal with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security disclosures.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website occupies a niche in the German transportation sector, focusing on traffic law and fines. It benefits from a clear market positioning as a trusted resource for drivers needing up-to-date legal information and tools. The presence of a named legal author and active social media channels enhances credibility. Revenue likely derives from advertising networks (Taboola, Outbrain, Google Ads) and affiliate referrals (e.g., sos-verkehrsrecht.de). The target audience includes private drivers, commercial vehicle operators, and legal consumers in Germany. The site has been operational since 2013, indicating stability and experience. Partnerships with legal service providers strengthen its ecosystem. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy and legal compliance documentation to maintain competitive advantage and user trust.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. The use of a consent management platform indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of a published privacy policy and terms of service pages is a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site uses common third-party scripts for analytics and advertising, which should be regularly audited for security risks. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, suggesting an area for improvement. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an informational website but requiring enhancements for higher assurance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page and link it prominently on the site.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all audiences.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery and popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and WP Rocket for performance optimization. The site loads multiple external resources including advertising and analytics scripts from Taboola, Outbrain, Google, Bing, and Microsoft Clarity. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading and preconnect optimizations. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security best practices. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but has room for modernization and security hardening.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
